Meeting in the Middle Ages

Meeting in the Middle Ages

Meeting in the Middle Ages is the Medieval Institute of Notre Dame"s podcast. Our goal is to answer the questions "what do medievalists do, and how do they do it?" Episodes—a new one each month—are built around informal conversations between our hosts, Ben and Will, and medievalist scholars and graduate students. We discuss how they became medievalists, what led them to their current research, the resources they use, and how they use them.
